I have had the J&S for almost 5 years now. I bought it when the Sears Red jack dropped my bike. Lucky I was only raised 4 inches, and was able to grab it and keep it upright as the jack failed Bought the J&S that day, had it 3 days later, and have had no problems with it on 2 different Ultras, a fattboy and now the wifes deluxe.
Never had to use a strap, no matter whay Ihave done to the bike ( including stripping the tims and replacing them., and changing shocks on the Deluxe)
Moves around the garage easily with the bike on it, without straps and that bike don't move on the jack.

I'm another happy J&S customer. Their customer service is top notch, and I have never had a problem with the jack. It picks up my '07 Ultra easily, and sets her down again just as easily.
I've heard PitBull is another good one.

Plus 1 on the J&S My first one there was something wrong with it in that the locks were not even so when you lowered it on the locks only one was tight the other one would swing.
I called them up to let them know and they put a whole new jack in the mail and overnighted it along with them having Fedex pick the other one up.
So far this thing has been great!! I even use it to life the front of my zero turn mower for blade changes.
Great product. I also looked at the pit bull, but cost more and nothing to be gained for the extra cash.
One option I did buy was the oil drain pan, with that in place you can open oil, primary and tranny and drain all 3 at once while it flows down into you pan. Love it

Had a Sears red for years never trusted it. Left my bike one day on it in the up position to get parts, came back and found it on the side stand. Slipped right out of the lock. Bottle would rarely hold. I went online and bought a Pitbull with air assist. Love it. Sturdy as a bastard..no worries. Aside from a table I wouldn't own any other.
